Hernandez transfered to Boston

(WHDH) Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez has been transferred to a Boston jail as he awaits trial on murder charges.

Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins said Wednesday that Hernandez would go through an initial assessment before it’s determined if he will be placed into general population or isolation.

Hernandez is being brought from the Bristol County jail after his court appearance in Fall River. Hernandez requested the move to be closer to his Boston attorneys as he defends himself against three murder charges in cases from Bristol County and Boston.
